CHICAGO — An off-duty Harvey police officer fatally shot a man who allegedly opened fire early Thursday inside a crowded south suburban bar, fled and then fired more shots through the tavern's front window.

"The officer performed commendably," Burnham Police Chief Peter Belos said. "The suspect had no regard for anyone's life, and the officer prevented further death and injuries."
